This is so bad it's almost good

I watched 'But I'm a Cheerleader'
about a month ago now and I am still kind of mad at the world for not
being this perfect collection of coordinated pastel tones and
aesthetically pleasing scenery. I know it's a contrived, fantasy-like
representation of America and it is not meant to emulate "the real
world", but knowing the levels of organisation that our bodies have from
cells all the way up to the order of the ecological niche, I don't see
why it's too much to ask. That is the bitter argument raging on in my
brain between the idealistic teenager and the restrained, logical
scientist. And while I hate to say, but the scientist in me is winning
too. Only because I have been conditioned over a number of years to
think this way and ignore things like aesthetic beauty and particularly
as the semester drags on, my own outfits. Anyway, this
didn't make much sense, but I hope these thoughts go well with the
aesthetic of this these journal entries.

Also I have an announcement to make. I know I only finished exams and assignments like a week ago now, but I am taking a planned hiatus for the next three weeks while I map rocks in regional New South Wales. That means that the etsy store will also be closed for the next three weeks, but I have a bunch of new vintage stuff to list. We won't have Internet access and limited phone reception so I will basically be doing lots of drawing for my journal and do some reading. You can follow me on instragram if you haven't already and I will be back blogging regularly in a few weeks.
